Down by the Station

Sometimes its hard for me to hang back and let him go adventuring without me. I want to be the one holding his hand, hearing him chatter, seeing him smile. I want to be at the centre of his joy.

But if you ask John he'll tell you that "Grandma and John see choo choo's" and so when we arrived at the station, just as the last train was preparing to leave, I let Grandma take his hand and walk him along the platform, through the steam, to talk to the driver.

Because I knew that this was really their moment - their memories - and that my place was really behind them, letting them go.

About Me

I'm a brand new mummy discovering the pleasures and pains of staying at home and watching my little boy grow. I like to write, to make things and to wander in the great outdoors. I've created this blog to document my days and capture some of my thoughts before they flit away.
